Stabilitrak/Traction Control Problem

[Rawlings09]

Recently error code randomly appears Service Traction control and Stabilitrak, not sure what the problem is, it just randomly popped up one day and sometimes it doesnt appear, has anyone had this issue before?

Mine did too the other day after a rotated my tires so after a bunch of online research i freaked out and bought a throttle body, wheel sensor and a CPS sensor encase the error returns. It went away to quick for me to pull my codes so im not sure what it is.

From my research the system uses steering wheel position sensor and each ABS wheel speed sensor to calculate truck out of normal driving control. If it popped up and stayed on saying to service system then I would look into the wires on the front hubs and rear. See if anything has rubbed on become disconnected with the lift. Try getting an alignment to clear it.

If it flashes when turning then the system is working just not setup correctly. My denali is lifted and flashes in turns but its not aligned correctly so I need a very GOOD alignment to see if it clears from flashing all the time in turns.

Thank you for the advice, I'll look to see if anything is disconnected, hopefully this goes away, I'm tired of seeing this on my dash

I had an issue earlier this week with both the Stablitrak and ABS saying needs service. The ABS one indicated an issue with left rear wheel. Took the rod off the left rear control arm sensor, move it up and down a few time, put it back on and I was able to ABS error, not coming back on.

The service Stablitrak message is still showing and the ABS light is on.

No codes!

Not sure where to start looking?

BTW, this is a '07 Yukon XL Denali.

Any help or guidance on where to start would be greatly appreciated.

The issue is that, at least for the 07-14 models, that stabilitrak message pops up for darn near any issue you could have with your vehicle. It could be TB related, ABS sensor related, alignment issue, MAF issue,....pretty much anything under the sun (for reasons we are not clear on really). So my suggestion would be to just watch it and wait until the vehicle either starts acting up or a code is thrown. If neither happens start with things like getting your alignment done (and other things that would not throw an error) and see if those things clear it up. Other things to check would be the connections especially if you've recently put new shocks on. There are connections right next to the upper shock bolts on teh back and they are REALLY easy to unplug accidentally throwing this message on your DIC. Ask me how I know

I did not do any work on mine, but had the Service Traction Control and ABS messages come up.

I checked the codes, found one for the ABS, really did nothing, but the ABS code cleared, still have the Service Traction Control and ABS lights on my dash, only the Service Traction Control shows in the message box.....

I check the ECM with my scanner, no codes show up. Do I need any special or added functions on my scanner to read the Stablitrak/Traction Control system? Mine has ABS and SRS besides the basics.

Still no idea where to start.

So no one can help me out here with a diagram or idea where to go from here?

 

[joshcarl]

what diagram do you want? i had a similar issue that turned out to be a wheel speed/abs sensor on the rear.
